Jon Quijas

My name is Jonathan. I am born and raised in the Bay Area. My wife is a teacher and I am a Trainer/Teacher. I have two beautiful girls, 3 years old and 1. As long as I was in grade school, I can remember being interested in real estate. My dad and mom were blue collar workers with 5 children, trying to support us, so my dad did flips before "flipping" was even popular. I currently have two Bay Area properties (thank God for the crash, as we are both middle class), one of which I rent. Prices are currently over-inflated in the Bay so I am looking for: 1. places to invest outside of the Bay Area/California. 2. Mentorship (I love being around people smarter than me!) 3. Training and Learning from others to get that 3rd, 4th, etc. place. 4. I am extremely interested in Buying and Holding and would even be open to a flip with the hopes of building a nest egg and financial independence. Besides Real Estate, I love, being with family, friends, running, reading, traveling, architecture, working with youth, watching a good movie, and volunteering.
